I’m excited to share some news!

The Mereland Chronicles: The Crier is now available at Charnley’s Home & Garden Centre in Dalton-in-Furness, Cumbria (UK).

This is a particularly special milestone because Charnley’s is the closest retailer to many of the real locations that inspired the novel. From Dalton-in-Furness and Furness Abbey to Lake Windermere, these are the landscapes at the heart of the story – all right on the doorstep.

If you’re in the area – why not make a day of it?

Browse Charnley’s fantastic home and garden centre, enjoy a meal or coffee (the cakes are amazing!) in their excellent restaurant, and, while you’re there, pick up a copy of the book.

I’ve also shared a TikTok and an Instagram Reel showing the new display at Charnley’s, so if you’d like a closer look, head over to my social media channels and let me know what you think.

Charnley’s joins a growing number of local retailers stocking The Mereland Chronicles: The Crier. For a full list of stockists, click here.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the book so far. Seeing it reach more local shelves, especially so close to the places that inspired the story, is incredibly rewarding. I hope you’ll enjoy following the journey.

Have you visited Charnley’s recently? If you spot the book while you’re there, I’d love to see your photos – tag me on social media!
